Seoul is one city made of thousands of precious and absolutely unique villages. That in effect is it’s character. One might ask the same questions of London, New York City, or many other cities with over 10,000,000 residents. None are static, monolithic, and boring.

And asking “Koreans” (Which ones? A youth in Yeoido? A cook in Chongno? Random people on subways or buses? A butcher in Bucheon? A teacher in Taehangno? Housewives in Hannam-dong? Men eating meat in Mapo-dong? Anyone on Fish Alley in Itaewon?) to define the character of Seoul is evidence that Colin Marshall still doesn’t understand where he supposedly lives. It is a wildly diverse city, even though mostly Korean.

Seoul does not need a single 2-D character like some cartoon fantasy. And just because racist progtards in Yong-guk can’t find their butt with both hands does not make Seoul soul-less or less appealing to actual intellectuals.

In fact, it makes sophisticated people like Seoul even more.
